  5. Presentation Agenda The Business Case For Document Management Additional Driving Factors in K-12 Developing A Plan For Getting Started

  6. Enterprise Document Management (EDM) is the effective capture, organization, storage and control of scanned documents and digital files. EDM has applicability to ALL education Public, independent and charter K-12 Schools, Intermediate Units (ESA’s) and Board of Education (BOE)

  7. Why Organizations Implement EDM Improve Service Levels Via Rapid Access To Documents Improve compliance Lower overall operating costs by reducing filing, printing and storage costs. Eliminate space consumed by records storage Provide document security and a sound strategy for Disaster Recovery

  8. What’s The Problem?

  9. K-12 Schools Face the Same Problems • Meeting federal and state compliance mandates • Improve student performance and teacher quality • Provide security and procedures around content • Being seen as progressive with technology to reduce costs • Integrating core student information systems with instant recall to paper-based, multi-media or electronic documents • Competing with independent and charter schools for enrollment • Competing for state and federal NCLB subsidies • Doing more with less

  10. What’s The Problem? Inefficient Paper Based Systems Document Retention Requirements High Cost of Filing & Storage Constantly Growing Volumes Hard to Access Needed Documents

  11. Education Applications - Paper-based processes • Student records • Special education records • Teacher credentialing • Active student files • Testing program records • Human resources • Finance and accounting • A/P and Receivables • Curriculum knowledge bank • Transcripts • IEP (individual education evaluation report) • School board minutes • NCLB procedures and documentation • Portfolios • School and staff development plans • Contracts and warranties

  12. What’s The Problem? Family Education Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA) CT Document Retention Requirements No Child Left Behind (NCLB) The Public Records Act

  13. Retention Examples Student Records: Academic Achievement (Grades/Transcripts) Attendance Records Records of Immunization Basic Biographical Information Retention Requirement : 50 Years After The Student Leaves The School District

  14. Retention Examples Personnel Records: Employment Applications Background Surveys Medical Records Disciplinary Records Health Benefit Election Forms Retention Requirement: Duration Of Employment Plus 30 Years

  15. Retention Examples Fiscal Records: Bank Statements Bills Paid Ledgers Purchase Orders Payroll Records Retention Requirement : 3-6 Years or until audited, whichever comes later

  16. Retention Requirements Policy on Disposal of Original Public RecordsThis Office will approve disposal authorizations for original public records reformatted on a computer based digital imaging system only if the original records have an approved retention period of ten (10) years or less. The Public Records Administrator may approve the disposal of original public records having a retention period of more than 10 years or as having permanent/archival value and reformatted on a digital imaging system if the agency also retains a security copy of the record in a human-readable storage medium approved by the Public Records Administrator, and the security copy is maintained in an organized record-keeping system Source: CT State Library - Standards for the Use of Imaging Technology

  17. Retention Requirements "Human-readable storage medium" means paper, a photograph, a photocopy, or a microform, including, but not limited to, microfilm, microfiche, computer output microfilm, and aperture cards. 

  18. When To File Digitally? Documents with less than a 10 year retention requirement If you must keep a “human-readable” security copy of certain document types, why would you store them digitally? Access & Sharing How often are documents retrieved? How many people need the documents? What is the time and cost to retrieve documents? (e.g. off-site storage typically charge $15-$22 to retrieve and deliver a file.) How quickly do you need a document (seconds or days)?

  19. The Power of Document Management In a Price Waterhouse (now PWC) study searching over 10,000 documents for a specific topic, author, and data range… • Manually, paralegals took 67 hours and found 15 documents. • Electronically, the same search took 4.5 seconds and found 20 documents!

  20. The Case for Enterprise Document Management

  21. The way it is… Staggeringly, in the information age: • 90% of documents handled daily in the workplace areSTILL ON PAPER!

  22. Not to mention… • 15% of documents are misplaced. • 30% of the work day is spent searching for information. Source: Association for Information & Image Management (AIIM)

  23. The Case for Document Management Source: Inc Magazine

  24. What Enterprise Document Management Systems Can Do For You? Easy capture of files, records and administrative documents in electronic form Conversion of archived records to electronic form Rapid and secure access to records Security model to ensure privacy and integrity Disaster Back Up

  25. The Benefits Of Enterprise Document Management Systems? Reduction in administrative man-hours caused by automation of records capture Elimination of physical storage costs and free up valuable school real estate Improvement in service levels for students, parents and school personnel Improved Regulatory Compliance

  26. Cost Reduction Labor Productivity How many people file and retrieve documents a day? How much time is spent filing? How much time is spent retrieving? Would improving their productivity be important? Cost Avoidance - Are you seeing a need for more people to manage records?

  27. Cost Reduction Labor Productivity Example: 5 People Spend 2 Hours/Day - Filing & Retrieving = 50 Hours At $20/Hour X 52 Weeks = $52,000

  28. Barriers To Adoption? Tradition Perceived high costs Restrictive budgets Perception of adding work Effort to define the policies for document types

  29. Capture - Simplified Scanning Many MFPs already in use Cost Effective Document Scanners Highly automated labeling Use of Bar Codes Integration To Student Information Systems(e.g. SASI)

  30. The Case for Document Management • Save time by reducing filing and retrieval efforts. • Save filing space, reduce paper and paper storage costs by reducing your paper-based files. • Reduce copying costs. Eliminate “shadow” filing systems. • Reduce mailing/distribution costs by sending documents via email or via web access • Improve document security and compliance

  31. New Driving Factors in K-12 Education for Enterprise Document Management (EDM)

  32. Solutions for K-12 Education Administrative Back Office: Human Resources Finance and Accounting Staff records Government Programs:School lunch programs Testing programs • School-district wide: • Parent, Student, Staff Web-Self-Service • Secure, confidential records repository • Single content management “backbone” • Single administrative workflow • Compliance audit trail • Curriculum: Teaching & Learning • Capture complete student portfolios • Looking at student work • Building a knowledge bank • Student Records: • Capture new and archived records • Speed of care • Portability of records • FERPA • ePortfolio
